I just finished mapping the fall migration of the Arctic tern off the coast and noticed their nesting sites line up with the season when a particular seafood hits peak flavor. Have you ever linked animal migrations to the timing of a dish?
Oh, absolutely, I’ve done that before. When I caught the peak of the king crab’s sweet, tender meat, I’d sync it with the time the puffins were laying their eggs. It’s like the ocean’s own version of a seasonal recipe—nature’s pantry and the calendar in perfect harmony. I love turning that timing into a dish, letting the migration rhythms guide my plating. What seafood did you have in mind?
I’d go for the Greenland halibut that’s at peak fat content right after the ice edges melt—its flavor is a perfect mirror to the north‑ward migration of the snow‑shoe hare, just a few weeks earlier. That way the dish reads the same as the landscape.
